Please, don’t get me wrong. I’m not a left-wing, anti-war nut-case. I simply believe Mr. Obama is a hypocrite. In addition, I don’t believe that Mr. Obama’s “plan” is a viable way to wage peace or win a war.
Obama’s man on the ground, General McCrystal, wanted 50,000 troops. Now McCrystal finds that his own Commander-in-Chief has cut his legs out from under him, tied one arm behind his back and is inanely telling him to struggle on with way less than the appropriate manpower to get the job done. Such “plan” appears a recipe for failure, more long-term bloodshed and much less peace.
Additionally, Obama plainly told Taliban and al Qaida to just lay low for another 18 months, until we begin to withdraw. Al Qaida and Taliban have held on for eight years now, what’s another 18 months in their scheme of things?
Obama’s Afghanistan “plan” looks like a Plan for Failure. His “plan” appears to be a clear Benedict Arnoldian concession of exactly what the stated enemy wants . . . a cowardly retreat disguised to help him save face while delivering the battle into their hands. When his “plan” succeeds, the enemy wins.
For Mr. Obama it’s probably a good thing that he was irrationally awarded the Nobel Peace Prize before he’d done anything to merit that ever more dubious honor. According to Nobel's will, the Peace Prize should be awarded to the person who: “during the preceding year shall have done the most or the best work for fraternity between nations, for the abolition or reduction of standing armies and for the holding and promotion of peace congresses.”
Had the Nobel panel simply waited a year or two to see if Barack Hussein Obama were more than a flash in the pan, they would surely have found him to not live up to the lofty stipulation Mr. Nobel intended for his self-redemptive Peace Prize.
If we must win in Afghanistan; Let’s Roll! All The Way. Politicians should step aside and let the military win.
If not; bring everybody home tomorrow morning.
